-— Democrats outnumbered Republicans by 7 points in the 2008 election.”-—
Zero. Zip. Nada enthusiasm for the cult leader here in occupied Massachusetts.
We have a huge enthusiasm advantage.
Assume for a moment that Obama voters are going to either vote for him, or not, and that Romney voters are about the same as the McCain voters and they will either vote for Romney, or not.
Knowing that McCain got about 4 million fewer votes than George Bush in 2004, and understanding that the downward trend of Republican voters reflected in that could result in another 4 million vote loss, we might currently have only 55 million voters available to put Romney over the top.
For him to beat Obama it is necessary for Obama to lose 14 million votes from his last electoral effort.
So, figure it out, how does Romney get 14 million hard core Democrat Obama voters to just stay home this time?
